All of RibbedTee.com\'s shirts and shapewear for men are so sexy, good-looking and versatile, your man can actually wear it as outerwear.

This year Monsters and Critics went high and low and found the coolest gifts that you can buy your sweetie that reflects a bit more thought than the heart-shaped box of chocolates.

Here is an excellent Valentine's Day idea for men that won't break the bank.

Keeping in mind that Monsters and Critics loves finding American businesses who make cruelty-free items, RibbedTee.com is an excellent recommendation for the hard-to-find perfect gift for your favorite man. 

All of RibbedTee.com's shirts and shapewear for men are so sexy, good-looking and versatile, your man can actually wear it as outerwear.

There are a million underwear and tee shirts out there to buy, but none like RibbedTees, which fits so much nicer than regular shirts. Length-wise, they go the distance and more, with full coverage offered up in their Classic fit tee shirt, not a boxy affair, but form-fitting from top to bottom. The necks don't gap, the shirts don't stick to fabric and they layer like a champ.

The quality of the cotton they use, the attention to details like seams, lack of tags, and smooth finish and unique cotton blends with MicroModal is the brainchild of entrepreneur Mike Schwarz, who was inspired by “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" and it gave him the confidence to create a company that addressed an idea he had for a different take on men's shapewear.

Schwarz revealed why he created RibbedTee.com in a previous interview: "I always had a tough time finding undershirts that fit me properly. They were either too loose or too tight, too short or simply just not comfortable to wear. I searched for a better fitting and feeling, yet affordable undershirt for years, but could never find one that I truly enjoyed wearing. Once I saw Donny’s show, I decided it was time to make it myself — that’s when RibbedTee was born."

The two style we tried out and fell in love with were his Classic Fit V-Neck stretch ribbed cotton undershirt and the MicroModal Crew Neck, both in White. The MicroModal / Pima Cotton micro-ribbed knit blend makes this crew undershirt ultra-soft and silky smooth, and are more absorbent, durable, and more color brilliant than standard 100% cotton undershirts.  The regular cotton on the other shirt was super-soft, in a flattering, comfortable fit.  The V-Neck shirt was so good-looking that my male test subject wore it as his shirt, untucked over jeans, and it looked amazing.  The shirt is fitted just right to layer and wear under any other sweaters or dress shirts, and the design stays put, it doesn't creep up, bunch, gap, or lose its shape as you wear it.

Mike's sharp shirts are a superb Valentine's Day gift for any man, and are available in a variety of styles, crew neck, tanks, v-neck, shapewear and more that is slimming, and the best part is all of his reasonably priced clothing is made in the U.S.A.
